    Subject: M14P and IO540
    An interesting aspect of Kevin's thrust figures is not the amount of thrust from the M14 family of engines,but how little thrust from the Lycoming. With 11:1 compression,I suppose it must be at least a nominal 320 HP,but even if only a nominal 300,it's thrust should be 1387 lb,if mathematicly compared to the 400HP "PF" engine rather than the actual figure of 1245!!

    Richard, The additional 80 cubic inches of displacement, gear box and of course, super charger all help create the additional thrust in the M14. FYI, the 11:1 Lycon was fitted with the MTV9 203-20D 3 blade prop. We also tested a stock 260hp IO 540 lycoming as in an S2B or S2C and found a 2 blade thrust of 880lb and a 3 blade thrust of 960lb. So, 1245 is a large increase within the 540 parallel valve lycoming engine. To compare (same scales used): 200lb pilot/chute 90lb 15 gal fuel 70lb 10 gal smoke Single seat S2S with the 11:1 lycon parallel 540, MT 80" empty weight 1219 lb, thrust 1245 lb take off weight 1579lb thrust to weight: 0.78:1 Ti-12 and Beast (single seat model 12) BPE M14P, 102" MT, empty weight 1417 lb, thrust 1845 lb take off weight 1777lb, thrust to weight 1.03:1 This data shows a lightweight, single seat model 12 with the BPE engine or PF engine exceeds 1:1 thrust to weight during the entire show flight. An airplane powered by the example flat engine would need to be sub 848lb empty weight to achieve the same thrust to weight ratio. I suppose my point is that it is difficult to match the thrust of the M14 series of engines for aerobatic airplanes. Sincerely, Kevin Kimball, Vice President Jim Kimball Enterprises, Inc.

    Yes,interesting.The thrust figures support my long-held view that Lycoming horses are somewhat arthritic,and that the Russian figures are pretty conservative!!

    You are seeing the effect of the gearbox. Horsepower is horsepower, it becomes thrust whe applied to the prop. It's a function of prop RPM and blade design. I had a 295hp geared Lyc swinging a 93in 3 blade that I'm sure had equivalent thrust to the M14. It had a rati o of 122/77 so the prop only turned ~1700 at 2750 cru ise and ~1950 on takeoff.

    Blitz: All good comments so far. The one thing you need to decide is how you will fly your CJ. If acro and vertical penetration are important, the M-14P (or PF) may be what you want. If you are going to fly "gentleman acro" and fly to/from formation events, the Housai is going to be sufficient. If you live at altitude, the M-14 would be the better choice for the air you fly in. As for additional cruise, I doubt there is much. Pappy reports about 5 knots and he has lots of M-14 CJ time. My guess is that a good portion of that comes from the spinner on the plane too as it creates better airflow. Look at the Pitts. there are guys (and gals) flying them with fixed props, constant props, big engines, little engines, and tricked out engines. I've had the opportunity to fly CAP 182s with stock motors (235 HP and two blades) and the P Ponk converted 182 (265 HP and three blade prop). The difference is noticeable in climb and short field performance and that is about it (oh yes, CHT gets hotter faster, real fast). It is a nice kick in the butt and I even had a tower controller ask me what kind of 182 I was flying to take-off in such a short distance and climb like the plane did. The nice part is that everyone likes the engine choice they have made. Both are good capable engines. It is your $50K or so, decide how you fly and if the extra $$ is worth it.

    Interesting conversation! Boils down to whether you want to restore your 1968 Camaro with the original straight six, which is plenty good enough to get you to and from the grocery store, or squeeze in a 502 cu in. fire breathing, tire screeching, big block developing over 650 horsepower! In the car world we have a saying: "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?" I think there might be a cross-over to airplanes! Blitz, stop looking at your wallet and start looking in the mirror. Who you are and what you want out of life is, in the end, the most important factor in this decision. All the rest is just "logical justification" for a decision which I suspect you already have made, or darn well WANT to make!

    hey Blitz, It all boils down to the 3 F's. If it flies, floats, or fornicates...rent or be prepared to spend lots of money! Me, I bought all 3 and am loving every minute of it! As LoPresti says, "Life's short fly fast". Get the M-14, you'll not regret it. Get a 50 that comes with an M-14 as orginal equipment and you will really be loving life! In the long run it will be alot less invested in the plane than you are going to have in the CJ.

    Subject: Re: WANTED: Flap Actuator
    The CJ flap actuator will not work on a 52 because the 52 has 2 shuttle valves physically mounted to actuator and the actuator shafts run out of both sides of the actuator. Whereas the CJ actuator has the shuttle valves remote from the actuator and the shaft only moves out of one side of the actuator.

    Subject: Re: The late Forest Johnson's old CJ-6 For Sale...
    From: "Nanchang CJ6" <liutiantian1987@hotmail.com>
    [quote="a1aircraftmaintenance(at)"]Hey all, Some of you knew Forest Johnson who crashed his CJ a couple of months ago. He was in his newer bird with the M14P. He still had his old CJ with the 285HP. I have agreed to broker it for his widow. I got it up and running yesterday. If you are interested or know someone who is, please give me a call. It is listed on Barnstormer.com for $69,995. This is a great plane at a fair price.
